This article is so strange. It's interesting, but all he seems to care about is what right-wingers think. Who cares what they think? I guess that's all to whom Tyler Cowen wishes to appeal.
I used to be an occasional MR reader, but stopped visiting lately because of this.
When it became obvious how the US presidential race will end (basically after assassination attempt) Cowen's tone heavily shifted.
Even the facade of objectivity went through the window. Now most of his writing is spent on defending the indefensible. Shame, his early takes helped shape my world model.
